Editorial Reviews

Product Description
In this unique volume, some of today's most eminent political philosophers examine the thought of John Rawls, focusing in particular on his most recent work. These original essays explore diverse issues, including the problem of pluralism, the relationship between constitutive commitment and liberal institutions, just treatment of dissident minorities, the constitutional implications of liberalism, international relations, and the structure of international law. The first comprehensive study of Rawls's recent work, "The Idea of Political Liberalism" will be indispensable for political philosophers and theorists interested in contemporary political thought.

About the Author
Victoria Davion is associate professor of philosophy at the University of Georgia. Clark Wolf is assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Georgia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reading on the Later Rawls, August 28, 2000
By Robert Talisse (Nashville, TN USA) - See all my reviews
THE IDEA OF A POLITICAL LIBERALISM contains 14 essays-- many by leading scholars-- critically examining the recent work of John Rawls. This is the first collection of its kind, and is essential reading for anyone interested in Rawls's "political, not metaphysical" interpretation of justice as fairness. Topics include: the distinction between reasonable and unreasonable persons and comprehensive doctrines, public reason and religious commitment, Rawls's idea of an "overlapping consensus," and the implications of political liberalism for constitutional and international law. A must read for any serious student of current political philosophy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scott Hershovitz-America's one to watch in the future!, December 24, 2001
By "sgt41pd" (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This is a rare oppertunity to read the writing of a future leader of our country. Hershovitz is a Rhodes scholar with a bright future. Buy this book and you can say you knew him before he was famous. Fascinating reading.
